Building RESTful APIs with Node.js and Express

This course will teach you how to build RESTful APIs using Node.js and Express, two popular and widely used technologies in web development. You will learn how to create a server-side application that can handle requests from client-side applications and respond with JSON data. You will start by learning the basics of Node.js, including how to use its core modules, work with asynchronous programming, and use the Node Package Manager (NPM) to manage dependencies. From there, you will move on to building web servers with the Express framework, including routing, middleware, and error handling.

You will then dive into creating RESTful APIs, starting with the HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE) and how to handle them in your Express application. You will learn how to validate and parse incoming requests, work with databases, and implement authentication and authorization in your API. By the end of this course, you will have the skills and knowledge to create scalable, robust, and secure RESTful APIs using Node.js and Express. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced developer, this course will equip you with the tools you need to build modern web applications with confidence.
